How to remove and reinstall a hood cable and latch on the 2000-2011 Ford Ranger?

Open the hood and support it with a long piece of wood. Scribe or draw alignment marks around the hood latch to ensure proper alignment on reinstallation. Remove the bolts securing the hood latch and take it out, then detach the cable bushing and lift the cable eye off the anchor post. Note the routing of the cable within the engine compartment and remove any fasteners that secure it. Remove the screws that secure the hood release handle to the instrument panel and take off the tie wrap that secures the cable to the steering column bracket. In the passenger compartment, remove the cable grommet from the firewall and pull the cable through. For installation, insert the cable through the grommet in the firewall, ensuring it is properly seated, and before closing the hood, operate the control cable to confirm the latch control operates correctly.

Ford Hood Cable

If you own Ford and want to keep it in top shape, choosing OEM Hood Cable is a smart move. They are precisely engineered and follow strict factory standards. They are made in advanced facilities that use cutting edge technology. Each part goes through thorough testing to confirm strength and safety, so you can trust it. FordPartsDeal.com gives you genuine Ford Hood Cable at some of the affordable online prices without cutting quality. Every OEM Ford part includes the manufacturer's warranty, easy returns, and super-fast delivery. So why wait? Shop now and get your vehicle back to peak condition.

The Ford Hood Cable makes the hood unlock easily and allows you to open it without broken knuckles. Ford accomplished the growth of mass production as early as 1903 and the 1913 moving assembly line ensured that vehicles remained affordable by common households. EcoBoost engines with turbocharging are a combination of muscle and thrift, and SYNC allows drivers to scream a song request or find a detour. Co-Pilot360 smacks the brakes and pushes the wheel just before things get awkward, therefore there is no loss of confidence. Full-electric power such as the F-150 Lightning demonstrates that Ford is able to drag and not miss tailpipe fumes. Constant software updates are received via the air, and the trick is added overnight rather than browsing the store. Durability of frames and plain-sense designs make it easy to have the car repaired and increase its longevity throughout the entire Ford product range. And when the desire to check the coolant or fill up oil comes, the Hood Cable provides a satisfying pull that activates the secondary catch and opens the panel in a single attempt, dust and rain notwithstanding. Rust or degraded strands also caution about the impending failure of the Hood Cable and disregarding the warning signals can lock you out when you least want it. Replacement of the Hood Cable is necessary before that day and what is left of your usual checks is not time-consuming but annoying. The Hood Cable is blow-molded and is properly routed to the factory latch geometry better suited to give every Ford owner the benefit of consistently available access without metal-bangling.
